The expedition team “Moskvich in the Arctic” completed the first stage of the journey and successfully reached Magadan from Yakutsk, informs TASS referring to expedition leader Bogdan Bulychev.
“We have completed the first phase in the city of Magadan. Everything is fine, ”the agency cites the words of Bulychev.
On the route passing through the territory of Yakutia and the Magadan region, the air temperature during the trip dropped to 57 degrees below zero, it was recorded in the village of Oymyakon. At low temperatures, the 1975 Moskvich-427 station wagon broke down: the oil in the engine was squeezed out of the frost, and the paint on the hood also cracked. After the fault was fixed, the route passed through the Kolyma highway. The expedition reached Magadan via the city of Susuman.
The second phase of the expedition on the Magadan-Pevek route is planned for the winter of 2024.
